GHS at YSU Globally Harmonized System

1. GHS at YSUGlobally Harmonized System Timothy Styranec

2. Agenda • Hazard Communication Standard (Haz Com) • Labeling requirements • Safety Data Sheets (SDS) format – 16 sections

3. Why the Change to Haz Com? • To align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) adopted by 67 nations • To provide a common and coherent approach to classifying chemicals • Reduce confusion and increase understanding of the hazards

4. Who is Affected? • Manufacturers, Distributors, Importers • Change SDS information and format • Change container labeling • Employers Training employees on changes to: • SDS (change from MSDS to SDS and 16-section format) • Container Labels (including secondary containers) • Employees Recognize and understand hazards based on: • Information in new SDS format • Pictograms on container labels • Precautionary and hazard statements

5. What is the new data sheet called? • MDSD • MDSDD • SDS • STD

6. Chemical Classifications Chemicals will be classified using a harmonized system that provides standardized language for: • Health Hazard Categories • Physical Hazard Categories • Environmental Hazard Categories*

7. Chemical Classifications: Health Hazards • Acute Toxicity • Skin Corrosion/Irritation • Respiratory or Skin Sensitization • Germ Cell Mutagenicity • Carcinogenicity • Reproductive Toxicity • Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Single Exposure • Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Repeated Exposure • Aspiration • Simple Asphyxiants

8. Chemical Classifications:

9. Chemical Classifications: Physical Hazards • Explosives • Flammable Aerosols • Oxidizing Gases • Gases under Pressure • Compressed Gases • Liquefied Gases • Refrigerated Liquefied Gases • Dissolves Gases

10. Chemical Classifications: Physical Hazards (continued) • Flammable Liquids • Flammable Solids • Self-Reactive Chemicals • Pyrophoric Liquids • Pyrophoric Solid • Pyrophoric Gases • Self-heating Chemicals • Chemicals, which in contact with water, emit flammable gases

11. Chemical Classifications: Physical Hazards (continued) • Oxidizing Liquids • Oxidizing Solid • Organic Peroxides • Corrosive to Metals • Combustible Dusts

12. Chemical Classifications:

13. Labels There are several new label elements: • Symbols called “Pictograms” • Signal Words • Hazard Statements • Precautionary Statements • Product Identification • Supplier/Manufacturer Identification www.osha.gov/Publications/HazComm_QuickCard_Labels.html

14. Labels: Pictograms • There are 9 pictograms. • Health Hazards • Physical Hazards • Environmental Hazards

15. Labels: Pictograms – Health Hazards Acute toxicity (Less Severe): Irritant Dermal sensitizer Acute toxicity (harmful) Narcotic effects Respiratory tract irritation Acute toxicity (Severe) Acute = short-term effect

16. Labels: Pictograms – Health Hazards (continued) Carcinogen Respiratory sensitizer Reproductive toxicity Target organ toxicity Mutagenicity Aspiration Hazard Skin corrosion Serious eye damage/ Eye irritation

17. Labels: Pictograms – Physical Hazards Flammables Self reactives Pyrophorics Self heating Emits flammable gas Organic peroxides Explosives Self reactives Organic peroxides

18. Labels: Pictograms – Physical Hazards(continued) Corrosive to Metals Oxidizer Gases under Pressure

19. Labels: Signal Word These are words used to indicate the severity of the hazard and alert employees to the potential hazard. Only 2 signal words will appear: • “DANGER”(more severe hazard) • “WARNING” (less severe hazard) Not all labels will have a signal word. Some chemicals are not hazardous enough to require that a signal word appear on the label.

20. Labels: Hazard Statement There are specific hazard statements that must appear on the label based on the chemical hazard classification. Examples: • Flammable liquid and vapor • Causes skin irritation • May cause cancer

21. Label: Other information Other information that may be included on the label: • Physical state • Color • Hazards not otherwise classified • Route of exposure • Storage and disposal • Hazard prevention and emergency response instructions

22. Label: SampleCan you identify each label component? Pictograms (Flammable and Acute Toxicity – Severe) ToxiFlam (Contains: XYZ) Danger! Toxic If Swallowed, Flammable Liquid and Vapor Do not eat, drink or use tobacco when using this product. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame. - No smoking. Wear protective gloves and eye/face protection. Ground container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Store in cool/well-ventilated place. IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CONTROL CENTER or doctor/physician. Rinse mouth.In case of fire, use water fog, dry chemical, CO2, or "alcohol" foam. See Safety Data Sheet for further details regarding safe use of this product.

23. NFPA Label Labels: Secondary containers • Must be consistent with the revised Haz Com standard • No conflicting hazard warnings or pictograms. • May use written materials (e.g., signs, placards, etc.) in lieu of affixing labels to individual stationary process containers. • Employer can use GHS compliant labels (same as shipping). HMIS Label Must include notation of chronic health effects HEALTH FIRE PHYSICAL HZ PPE

24. Safety Data Sheets • Under the new Haz Com Standard, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are now called Safety Data Sheets (SDS). • All SDSs will have a consistent 16-section format. • Employers must ensure that SDSs are readily accessible to employees.
